A Thai woman threw her newborn baby out of a 17th-story window after her married South Korean boyfriend dumped her, according to local reports. The boyfriend, 40, identified only by his surname Kim, was the baby's father.

According to reports, Netchanok Nokyungtong, 20, told police she had been in a relationship with the South Korean man for two years, but after she became pregnant he urged her to abort the baby and then returned to Korea.

The woman gave birth in her flat, put the baby in a bag and threw it out of the 17th-floor window of her flat in Pattaya, a resort city.

Speaking to local paper the Chiangrai Times, Colonel Apichai Khemphet, head of Pattaya Police, said, "Miss Netchanok Nokyungtong gave birth in a bathroom where blood was found on the floor. She said she was shocked and not ready for the birth.

"The boyfriend is a married foreigner from South Korea who did not want to stay with her. She was heartbroken because he returned to his family."

A man who lived in the same building reportedly saw an object fall past his window and hit the ground. Police said they found the dead baby, with its umbilical cord still attached, inside a green plastic bag.

Colonel Khemphet added: "This is a very brutal crime. The baby was born in a healthy condition and the mother did not express grief about what had happened.

"Her boyfriend had left and tried to tell her to abort the baby."

He said the woman claimed she did not have money to support the child.
